Not to be too much of a pain, but I asked for full-spec MERGE a while back... :) I don't think I was the only one asking for full-spec MERGE in the "What features would you like to see in Postgres?" thread a while ago either, though I could be wrong. I'd like to see MySQL-like 'replace' too, of course. :) Thanks, Stephen
